Am I the only one here that likes music that goes ‘Rahh!!’
Where men scream, guitars are tuned down to B, and where double-bass pedals dominate the drumming.
Sure, The Dead Kennedy’s were great, as were the sex pistols, but it’s 2005. Go out and buy Pissing Razors, Hatebreed, Throwdown, Six Feet Under, Soulfly, Killswitch Engage and some Machinehead.
Satan’s adrenaline pumping, skull cracking music!

I bet the old dears love it when you pull up outside their bungalows with the panels of your van vibrating to the sound of that little lot.
Jennifer Lopez ? – no way, she’s too far up her own ar** for my liking and lets face it – it’s big enough
U2, early stuff – brilliant – they were at their best before Bonio started trying to save the world.
I got dragged off to some music festival on Friday, saw the Zombies who were pretty good even though I only knew “She’s not there” – also some Tina Turner tribute who had a voice like fingernails being dragged down a blackboard. Hopefully there was an Ike tribute waiting for her back stage…
Re: How do you get a big Fridge/Freezer out?
I’ve never had any real problems getting the big fridge freezers out, they do normally slide out quite easily once unloaded, if the customer has had it tiled-in then i’ll have a go at getting it out within reason.
I certainly wouldnt go in bashing the tiles up – if it can’t be removed without A) damaging customer’s property, B) damaging the appliance, or C) damaging me then as far as i’m concerned the customer must arrange for it to be removed. I have been known to quote the “reasonable access” bit as kwat said.
I did have one built in fridge once – the ones with the tall legs & between the front & rear legs the kitchen fitters had run the waste pipe, hot & cold feed to the washing machine and a gas pipe, customer was advised to call her kitchen fitters back on that one.
Re: Recommended Listening
Not sure whether to admit this or not, my van is a shrine to the 80s – Deacon Blue, Dire Straits, Level 42, Depehe Mode, Simple Minds etc, the great thing about this kind of work is you get to drive around alot on your own so all the stuff i’m banned from listening to at home or in the car gets aired in the van.
I get the p*** taken out of me regularly by the current mrs farmboy about my taste in music – this from someone who went to see boyband Five in concert (remember them?) she had a great view because at 30something she was the oldest person in the audience.
I also get stick for listening to radio 2 cos “its for old gits”
Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Think someone else had this one a while back but…
Had a call last week, customer wanted a call between 12 & 1 only – couldn’t possibly do any other times, I rang her & explained that i would try but couldnt promise anything as the job was out in the sticks plus i had a fair bit of travelling to do. Still she insisted on 12 – 1. As it turned out i got there at bang on 12 o’clock….
OAP, barely able to walk, at home all day etc wanted to “structure her day”
Re: A joke
Brilliant! – 1 small problem, wife wanted me to explain what all the laughing was about so i foolishly explained.
I swear i saw tumbleweed roll across the floor when id finished the joke followed by “is that what you think then…?” oh f*** here we go…
So if you want to avoid an evening like mine, ie painting the staircase and agreeing to buy a new 3 piece suite then DONT relay the joke to any female in the vicinity!
The new suite will be here in 6 weeks, bloody dfs…

Re: AEG L16810 Not drying
All those readings sound right – there is another sensor mounted near the bottom of the plastuc condenser tank at the back. Does the dryer work on manual ? – if it doesnt then then its unlikely to be a sensor fault.
Bear in mind that if you have to change the board you will have to configure it before use & you wont get instructions on how to do this.
Re: Waste of a waste.
I’ve not seen one myself but for what it’s worth this is my opinion…

Possibly thats why they’ve done it and i can understand the logic – alot of the guarantee calls i used to get were machines where either the hose was pushed too far down the standpipe or fixed too low to the sink stub so the sink water ran back into the machine.
If the engineer goes out on a guarantee call and doesnt charge the customer because its incorrectly installed (as he’s supposed to according to the terms & conditions in the handbook) then it ends up costing the manufacturer.
Perhaps its zanussi’s way of encouraging customers to have standpipes fitted but let’s face it, when did you last see a new kitchen installation with standpipes ?
Re: anyone for tenious?
Been giving this thread some thought over the last week…
My brother once sold Max Bygraves a carpet
during the election campaign i nearly ran over Oliver Letwin (think he was shadow chancellor or something) he was standing in the middle of a main road having his photo taken – if only i’d been going faster…
and for the benefit of viewers in the south west, i once met Gus Honeybun.
That really is the best i can do.
Re: crosslee cl767 condensor drier
I found that heating around the centre of the fan & the shaft with a hair dryer plus the 2 screwdriver method worked best for me
Re: For when your bored!
Bizarre. And so is this:
